This blog is about our adventures, whether day-to-day adventures around town, trips to farther lands or our journeys through books. As an avid reader I wanted a blog title to give credit to my literary roots. In the 9th grade I read Steinbeck's "Travels with Charlie." While I'm actually not much of a Steinbeck fan, or that book in particular, the title I used in homage to it just seems to fit my lifestyle.

A Weekend With the Girls

Last weekend I nourished my soul and refreshed my spirit by hanging out with some of my life-long friends for a three-night, four-day trip.

We traveled to Charleston, S.C., and stayed on the second floor of a two-story rental property. We wanted to all be together in the same house, not separate rooms like in a hotel, and we enjoyed our time together more than I can put into words.

Oh, the benefits of four days of laughter, games, late-night girl talk and a few cocktails here and there.

We all agreed this should become a yearly thing, and I SO hope it will.

Girlfriends are the best. Especially ones who know every part of you and love you for and despite it all.

One of life's many paradoxes hit me while we were together: Nothing has changed; only everything has changed.

About Me

I'm a Christian, wife, mother, professor, avid reader and travel lover just trying to walk the path God has set before me.

The Hubby

This man is one kind-hearted, patient soul. I couldn't ask for a better person to travel through this life with.He's a great daddy and wonderful husband.

The Boy

Here's my handsome first born. He's taught me so much about life, myself and motherhood. He's wide open at home, but is introverted and quiet around others. He loves anything to do with sharks, dinosaurs, presidents, art and right now, Egypt.

The Little Girl

This little girl, or Boopsie as she is known around here, is a bundle of joy. She has the cutest personality and is a chatter box. She is dearly loved by her brother, who I think is her favorite, and has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives.
